Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pulverized coal boiler control technology, specifically to a stable combustion control method for a push flow gasifier coupled with a pulverized coal boiler system. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop and trend of reducing carbon emissions, the power grid system has placed higher demands on the deep peak shaving of renewable energy. In specific environments, pulverized coal boilers need to operate under ultra-low loads to meet the needs of renewable energy grid connection. Ensuring the safe and stable combustion of pulverized coal boilers under ultra-low loads presents a serious technical challenge.

[0003] The current main method involves adding oil burners, similar to continuous lamps, to the existing pulverized coal boiler. By increasing the load on the oil burners under ultra-low load conditions, the combustion stability of the pulverized coal boiler system is ensured. This technical solution has played a good role in ensuring the stable and safe operation of the system. However, due to the high price of oil and the complexity of the system, it significantly increases the operating costs of the power plant. Therefore, developing an economically feasible ultra-low load stable combustion technology for pulverized coal boilers using the power plant's inherent resources is particularly important.

[0004] CN108518666 A describes a stable combustion system and method for a pulverized coal boiler using coal as fuel. The system includes a gasifier body, a pulverized coal boiler, and a first steam drum. The gasifier body is a vertical gasifier, divided from top to bottom into a gasification section, a radiant waste boiler section, and an ash pool section. The syngas produced by gasification is transported through a pipeline from the bottom of the gasifier to the pulverized coal boiler for combustion support. The gasification ash is post-processed using conventional gasification methods. This patent merely provides a rigid connection between the gasifier and the pulverized coal boiler; the syngas produced by gasification is used for combustion support in the pulverized coal boiler under low load, similar to the independent operation of two separate systems. Furthermore, it does not disclose its stable combustion control method, which may lead to energy waste in actual operation.

[0005] CN207674428 U describes a coal-fired power unit coupled with biomass gasification power generation and gas combustion system. The system includes a circulating fluidized bed, separation equipment, heat exchanger, and pressurization equipment. The patent describes how syngas is produced by gasifying in a circulating fluidized bed and then undergoing a series of post-processing steps to replace the existing petroleum-assisted combustion system, thereby ensuring stable combustion of the system.

[0006] CN104848248 B introduces a coal-fired combustion air distribution control technology for boilers in thermal power plants that burn pulverized coal, blast furnace gas, and coke oven gas. This patent primarily calculates the required energy based on the boiler's evaporation rate, then calculates the energy that can be generated based on the calorific value and flow rate of fuel oil, blast furnace gas, and coke oven gas. Next, it subtracts the energy generated by blast furnace gas and coke oven gas from the energy required by the boiler load to calculate the energy generated by the pulverized coal. Then, it calculates the calorific value of the pulverized coal based on the total coal quantity in the coal mill and the required energy generated by the pulverized coal. Finally, it controls the opening of the dampers on each layer of the coal mill based on the calculated calorific value and the output of each layer of the coal mill. This patent's technical solution mainly describes the existing conversion methods for blast furnace gas and coke oven gas, but there are significant differences in the calorific value conversion methods for gasifiers. This technical solution cannot be directly transferred to the conversion of pulverized coal and gasifying agent in gasifiers.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a stable combustion control method for pulverized coal boilers under ultra-low loads. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of poor safety of pulverized coal boilers under ultra-low load in the prior art, and to provide a stable combustion control method for a push flow gasifier coupled with a pulverized coal boiler system.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a combustion stabilization control method for a push-flow gasifier coupled with a pulverized coal boiler system, the method comprising the following steps:

[0010] Determine whether the target load in the boiler load reduction instruction of the pulverized coal boiler belongs to the ultra-low load; wherein, when the target load is <35%BMCR, the target load is the ultra-low load;

[0011] When the target load is not an ultra-low load, the horizontally installed pusher gasifier is used as the primary air duct, and the load is adjusted according to the load adjustment method of the pulverized coal boiler under normal load.

[0012] When the target load is an ultra-low load:

[0013] S1. First, reduce the boiler load of the pulverized coal boiler to 35% BMCR according to the load adjustment method when the boiler is running under normal load. Then, switch the pulverized coal feed from the boiler burner to the pusher flow gasifier and increase the supplementary combustion air. Run for 10-30 minutes.

[0014] S2, monitor the temperature in the combustion zone to determine whether the minimum stable combustion temperature and the gasifier outlet temperature meet the conditions for stable combustion in the pulverized coal boiler.

[0015] When the temperature of the combustion zone is lower than the minimum stable combustion temperature, or the gasifier outlet temperature is less than 1000℃, it indicates that the boiler combustion is unstable. Increase the coal feed rate of the gasifier, keep the primary air volume of the gasifier constant, increase the inlet air volume of the gasifier, and reduce the supplementary combustion air volume of the boiler until the combustion is stable.

[0016] When the temperature of the combustion zone is higher than the minimum stable combustion temperature and the gasifier outlet temperature is greater than 1000℃, it indicates that the boiler combustion is stable. Keep the steam superheater outlet temperature unchanged, and adjust the coal feed rate of the gasifier, the air flow rate at the gasifier inlet, and the supplementary combustion air flow rate in the boiler combustion zone in real time until the pulverized coal boiler load is reduced to the target load.

[0017] The beneficial technical effects achieved by the present invention through the above technical solution are as follows:

[0018] (1) The stable combustion control method of the push-flow gasifier coupled with the pulverized coal boiler system provided by the present invention is that the push-flow gasifier is placed horizontally so that the flow direction of the gasifier outlet and the flow direction of the unreacted powder are consistent with the direction of the pulverized coal and the primary air entering the boiler. This can transport all the high-temperature syngas (CO, CH4, H2, tar, etc.) generated by the gasifier and the incompletely gasified pulverized coal into the pulverized coal boiler under pressure, thereby improving the utilization rate of pulverized coal and reducing the complexity of the modification.

[0019] (2) The present invention provides a stable combustion control method for a pusher flow gasifier coupled with a pulverized coal boiler system. This method relies on the pusher flow gasifier and the pulverized coal boiler coupling device to form a complete set of boiler ultra-low load combustion stable combustion control logic. It integrates the boiler conventional load adjustment and ultra-low load adjustment methods, controls the operation method and logic of the pusher flow gasifier in the ultra-low load adjustment process of the boiler, realizes the coordination and efficiency of the two devices, and ensures the stability of the entire system.

[0026] S2, monitor the temperature in the combustion zone to determine whether the minimum stable combustion temperature and the gasifier outlet temperature meet the conditions for stable combustion in the pulverized coal boiler.

[0027] When the temperature of the combustion zone is lower than the minimum stable combustion temperature, or the gasifier outlet temperature is less than 1000℃, it indicates that the boiler combustion is unstable. Increase the coal feed rate of the gasifier, keep the primary air volume of the gasifier constant, increase the inlet air volume of the gasifier, and reduce the supplementary combustion air volume of the boiler until the combustion is stable.

In Equation 22, ΔH i The enthalpy values ​​of the individual gases in the synthesis gas can be found in a common gas enthalpy-temperature table or calculated using process simulation software. The unit is kJ / Nm³. 3 ;F i For each gas, the flow rate is Nm. 3 / h.

[0089] When the gasifier outlet temperature is higher than 1000℃, it indicates that the gasifier is in normal working condition. If the gasifier outlet temperature is lower than 1000℃, it indicates that the gasification process is unstable and that the combustion zone temperature cannot be guaranteed to be higher than the minimum stable combustion temperature.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment, in step S2, when the temperature of the monitored combustion zone is lower than the minimum stable combustion temperature, or the gasifier outlet temperature is less than 1000°C, it indicates that the boiler combustion is unstable. The coal feed rate of the gasifier is increased by 3-8%, preferably 4-6%; the primary air volume of the gasifier is kept constant, and the inlet air volume of the gasifier is increased by 15-30%, preferably 20-25%, until the combustion is stable.

[0093] In a preferred embodiment, once the boiler load is reduced to the target load, the input values ​​of each parameter are maintained for stable operation.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, during the real-time adjustment of the coal feed rate of the gasifier, the inlet air rate of the gasifier, and the supplementary combustion air rate in the boiler combustion zone, when a boiler malfunctions or a problem occurs with the pulverized coal, the pulverized coal boiler alarm sounds. At this time, the boiler combustion is unstable. The coal feed rate of the gasifier is increased, the primary air rate of the gasifier is kept constant, the inlet air rate of the gasifier is increased, and the supplementary combustion air rate in the boiler is decreased until the combustion is stable. Then, the coal feed rate of the gasifier, the inlet air rate of the gasifier, and the supplementary combustion air rate in the boiler combustion zone are adjusted in real time until the pulverized coal boiler load is reduced to the target load.
